History
The statue was inaugurated on 7 October 1906. It was the work of Fadrusz János and Rollinger Gál Rezső. The statue was removed after the Romanian occupation in 1919. Since 1943, a statue of General Dragalina has stood on the pedestal.
Born in Karánsebes in 1860, General Ioan Drăgălina was a student at the Maria Theresia Military Academy in Vienna and served in the Imperial and Royal Army. He left the army in 1887 and moved to Romania, where he was promoted to the rank of Colonel in 1908 and commanded the infantry school in Bucharest until 1911. Already a general, he took part in the fightings at Orsova and along the Cserna river, which were part of the Transylvanian campaign that began at the end of August 1916. On 11 October 1916, he was appointed commander of the Romanian 1st Army, but the next day he was seriously wounded by a German counter attack near the front. He was transported to Bucharest, but during the amputation operation he suffered from septicaemia and died on 9 November.
